Technical Report

OSTI ID:6411596
POSTACO is a graphics post-processor for scalar, two-dimensional finite-element codes. It has the capability of producing a variety of graphical output including contour plots, profile plots, and nodal time history plots. Originally developed as a companion to the heat transfer code TACO, it may be used to plot data from any scalar code which produces binary plot files with the appropriate format. It can also be used to plot nodal and element time histories from data produced by the structural analysis code SAP4 after that data is processed by the SARG code. The capabilities, the execution, and the output of POSTACO are explained. A detailed user's guide is provided, and an example illustrating most of the features of POSTACO is included. The format of the binary plot files read by POSTACO is described. 19 figures. (RWR)
